Description Marko Myllynen 2011-05-30 14:53:08 UTC

Description of problem:
This was discussed over IRC at least once but IMHO was left a bit open.

sssd.x86_64.rpm currently requires sssd-client, not sssd-client.x86_64. sssd.x86_64.rpm is AFAIK unable to work for most if not all use cases without sssd-client.x86_64.rpm. However, some 32-bit applications like acroread require also sssd-client.i686.rpm in order to function.

So basically most common setup would include:

sssd.x86_64.rpm
sssd-client.x86_64.rpm

And if there's a need to support some 32-bit application one could add:

sssd.x86_64.rpm
sssd-client.x86_64.rpm
sssd-client.i686.rpm

The issue was the if one wants to provide the latter in a cross 32/64-bit kickstart file, using

%packages
...
sssd-client.i686
...
%end

will install

sssd.x86_64.rpm
sssd-client.i686.rpm

which prevents user logins.

So I'm suggesting to adding an explicit Require: sssd-client(%arch) to sssd.spec. This would make sure 1) user logins always work as expected on 64-bit 2) creating cross 32/64-bit kickstart snippets will come much easier (especially consider appliance/livecd cases where one can't depend on things like %pre as with Anaconda).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL 6.1

1. On a x86_64 machine: yum install sssd sssd-client.i686

2. # rpm -qa | grep sssd
sssd-1.5.1-52.el6.x86_64
sssd-client-1.5.1-52.el6.x86_64
sssd-client-1.5.1-52.el6.i686
